Last year, UltraViolet, a gender-justice organization, launched a campaign online and with posters hung through Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood marking Andrew as “Unwanted in Miami.” They branded him a “sexual predator imported to the U.S. by President Donald Trump.”
Schmidt’s experience highlights a pattern of deceptive marketing on TikTok that appears to be fueling a gray market for GLP-1 medications — including “research grade” drugs that are often in powder form. Content about such weight loss drugs on TikTok primarily targets women through sexualized images and videos, according to a new report from UltraViolet, the gender equality organization.
This content is not just horrific and humiliating and abusive, but it’s also in violation of Apple and Google’s stated policy guidelines,” says Jenna Sherman, UltraViolet’s campaign director
The letters, part of a push to “Get Grok Gone,” coincide with the launch of UltraViolet’s Reclaim the Domain campaign, a broader fight against the nonconsensual creation and sharing of intimate images.
"We are really imploring Apple and Google to take this extremely seriously," Jenna Sherman, UltraViolet's campaign director, told Reuters ahead of the letter's release. "They are enabling a system in which thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people, particularly women and children, are being sexually abused through the help of their own app stores."
“Until each and every campaign supporting Jonathan Ross is taken down, GoFundMe will remain complicit in legitimizing ICE's campaign of terror and violence on our communities,” UltraViolet said in a statement.
“They’ve turned this tool of mass sexual abuse into a special perk for paid users," said Jenna Sherman, campaign director at UltraViolet
Gender justice group Ultraviolet has mounted a campaign to pressure Apple and Google to remove X from their respective app stores on the grounds that X violates their child sexual abuse guidelines.
Jenna Sherman, a campaign director focused on tech and gender at Ultraviolet Action, said Trump’s order “only has one group of winners: his wealthy donors in the tech sector.”
"The changes come as campaign groups ParentsTogether Action and UltraViolet stage a first-of-its-kind virtual protest inside Roblox."
“Jeffrey Epstein is a pedophile. Full stop,” Batista said. “A middle-aged man grooming and sexually exploiting 15-year-old girls is child abuse. Full stop.”
